Gilbert de Venables of Kinderton b about
1050 a 1086 Since Gilbert de Venables
eldest brother was born in 1046 and presuming his other half siblings were
born before him he could have born in 1050, which would make him 16 at
the time of the Conquest making it possible to have taken part in it.

Gilbert came over to England with
the Conqueror whose daughter Adela was his sister-in-law. King Stephen,
who reigned 1135-1154, was Gilbert's nephew.

Whereas Visitation 1580 places Thomas
here without question, Visitation 1613 provides an alternative version
alongside that version, showing him as possibly 3rd son with elder brothers
Richard and William of Hugh son of John, without specifying who that John
was.
